Hi BAPCO, thanks for messaging the Community.

 

The Apps folder on the Dropbox site is a special folder that can only be accessed by your account, since you most likely have a third party app storing its files in there.

 

This folder cannot be shared to other users, nor can it be moved out of the Apps folder for security purposes.

 

If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

      Hey BAPCO, indeed, in this case, the "Apps" folder cannot be moved or shared, so that would be the only way for other people to access it.
